Proceeds from the July 25 Charity Soccer Day will go to support Eddie McNally and his family; players invited to sign up for friendly Scotland vs. England rivalry match
The Aurora Soccer Club is holding its Charity Soccer Day July 25, featuring its Scotland vs. England friendly match and Canada Red vs. Canada White showcase, in support of soccer legend and Aurora Sports Hall of Fame inductee Eddie McNally.
McNally, a former Aurora Heart, Toronto Blizzard player, and 37-time capped Canadian Men’s National Team member, is currently facing health complications, a club news release said. The Aurora soccer community is rallying to raise funds to support him and his family during this challenging time.
“Eddie McNally is a pillar of soccer in Aurora,” said Zach Lawton, ASC communications, marketing and sponsorship director. “This Charity Soccer Day is an opportunity for our players, sponsors, and neighbours to come together, enjoy passionate competition from our men and women members, and give back to one of our club’s true greats.”
Event Schedule – Saturday, July 25, on the club grounds at 510 Industrial Pkwy South:
3 p.m.: Canada Red vs. Canada White – A showcase match featuring the broader ASC membership.
5 p.m.: Scotland vs. England – The historic, annual friendly rivalry match.
ASC, York Region’s oldest soccer club established in 1954, is currently calling on all club players of Scottish or English descent who wish to represent their heritage to step forward and register for the roster. Players for both matches are requested to arrive 30 minutes prior to kickoff.
The Charity Soccer Day is designed as a full community, family-friendly event. In addition to the matches on the pitch, attendees can enjoy local food trucks, a ceremonial coin toss with local dignitaries, and access to a fully licensed bar on the ASC clubhouse patio.
